Bangladesh’s interim government, led by Foreign Affairs Adviser Md. Touhid Hossain, is signaling a shift in its approach to Myanmar’s ongoing crisis. Unlike previous administrations, Hossain has openly acknowledged past policy failures, including the rushed 2017 Rohingya repatriation agreement, while also advocating for controversial engagement with the Arakan Army (AA)—a group that now controls much of Rakhine State.
